We all checked our hives and this swarm doesn't seem to belong to any of us. However, i might have missed a queen in Nuc #5 after its last swarm. idunno? It was in a tree at eye level 15 feet behind Heléna & Nuc #5. It has been raining for several days; cool & wet. We don't know when it showed up. For all i know these could be the bees from Nuc #5's original swarm

Well, since i could reach them they were tossed into a empty nuc. I have no plans to keep them. They will likely be combined with whoever needs a population boost. The Queen will be evaluated. If shes a good Queen she might have a future. I'll keep the nuc going as long as i can as a spare queen if needed.

Wow, I guess it is just a swarm year. I hope they are good bees to add to the group.
